Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We take precise measurements across the home and present them as a clear layout showing high and low points. This makes it easier to understand whether you’re dealing with a single problem spot or a broader pattern of movement.
Where older sections meet newer work, floors can step or drift over time. We focus readings across these transition points to help identify differential movement that can affect door alignment, cabinetry and finishes.
Slopes often show up most clearly along long lines. We map readings through corridors and connecting spaces to reveal gradual fall or isolated dips that may not be obvious during a walk-through.
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens can mask localised issues due to heavier fit-outs and moisture exposure. We capture additional readings around these areas to support troubleshooting of cracked grout, tile lipping or bench misalignment.
If there’s safe access, we note relevant observations that can influence levels, such as bearer-and-joist configuration, visible packing, or areas where support appears altered. These notes add context to the digital results.
You’ll receive a straightforward explanation of the measured variations, what they may indicate, and when it’s sensible to seek structural engineering advice or get quotes for rectification.

Yes, especially where you’re seeing signs like sticking doors, uneven floors, or cracking that comes and goes. Many Ashwood homes have been altered over time, so the floor can vary between original and newer areas. A digital survey documents the level changes across the layout, helping you understand whether the issue is localised or part of a wider trend before you commit to repairs or purchase.
Your report will show measured floor level variations across key rooms and walkways, presented in a way that’s easy to interpret. It highlights where the highest and lowest points are, and whether the change is gradual or abrupt. We also explain what the pattern may suggest and what type of specialist (such as a structural engineer) you may want to speak with if thresholds are exceeded.
It can help by adding measurable evidence to what you’re observing. Cracks can come from many causes, but if the level readings show a consistent slope, a dip, or a distinct step between areas, it supports further investigation. If the readings don’t show meaningful variation, it may point you toward other causes like shrinkage, workmanship, or localised moisture effects.
Yes. Where an original section meets an extension, movement can show up as a step in the floor, cracking at internal corners, or doors that won’t latch. We take targeted readings across these transition points and map the results so you can see whether the change is concentrated at the join or continuing into the surrounding rooms. That clarity helps with repair scope and budgeting.
It identifies the pattern and magnitude of level variation, but it doesn’t diagnose the precise cause on its own. Causes can include subfloor support changes, moisture conditions, drainage issues, or differences in construction between areas. Our report explains likely contributors based on the measured pattern and any accessible observations, and it guides you on when to engage a structural engineer for formal cause-and-fix advice.
